Being at a boarding school is totally hard! You hardly see your family, and it's hard to get adjusted to a new place. Well, I went home this past weekend, and my mom surprised me with a gift!
Mom - "Hey! Guess what I brought you?"
Abi - "What, mom, what?!"
Mom - "THESE!"
To my surprise/disgust she pulled out three pairs of GRANNY PANTIES! Each one was a different color: sky blue, pink, and lavender (Woohoo). I said, "Mom, those are totally granny panties!” and she said, "What? These aren't for your grandma, silly, they're for you!" Oh, mother. I had to explain that granny panties are TOTALLY not stylish. Then she got upset! She said, "Whoa, girl, what do you want... THONGS?!” and sarcastically I said, "Yes, mom, def." So of course, since my mom is Spanish speaking, the conversation went like this:
Mom – “Que quieres, tangas?!”
Abi – “Si, mama”
Mom – “Oh, entonces quieres hilo dental*?”
Abi – “Si!”
Mom – “Pues lo puedes encontrar en el baño.”
*(“hilo dental” is slang for “thong” and it also means dental floss in Spanish)
Haha, if you didn’t get that, here is a translation:
Mom - “What do you want… THONGS?!”
Abi – “Yes, mom.”
Mom – “Oh, so you want floss?”
Abi – “Duh!”
Mom – “Well, you can find some in the bathroom”
Anyways, she angrily took the granny panties back, and I do admit feeling bad about making her feel bad. I tried to make her feel better by telling her that I would wear them on weekends since they are comfortable (they really are!), but she refused, taking her elderly undergarments with her. I don’t feel too bad about it all, and it was totally a funny experience.
